Few people know what a bierock is. I saw the sign as soon as we pulled into the parking lot and…read moreknew we had to investigate. I left hubby with no option other than stopping for lunch or at least ordering some food to go. I lived in Kansas as a teenager and fondly remember discovering bierocks and later making them for my own family. I wish we were locals because not only are the bierocks good, but this place has a fun vibe that would definitely bring us back. It was a game day when we stopped, and there was a fair crowd cheering on their favorite Wisconsin team. We ordered a Classic with Bavarian seasoning and a Rosemary Lamb Bierock to go along with some jalapeño poppers. I really enjoyed the Classic with the additional seasoning. It gave it an added boost of flavor. My husband was pleased with the Rosemary Lamb. Each came with chips and a pickle. Next time, I hope we can stop in and stay for a cocktail or craft beer as well.

Place was not busy and our order was messed up -- ingredients and sides weren't correct or were missing -- which is the reason for 3 stars. We did get comped one meal due to the fact that an entire meal for our son wasn't made and we had to wait another 15 minutes for it to be cooked. Overall, I'd like to try this place again to see if it can regain some stars and my confidence in the service.

We were headed to the airport but had some time so we stopped here for a few beers (it's close to…read morethe airport). We entered and were immersed in the merchandise and retail area; lots of shirts, hats, etc.. for sale. There were a bunch of seats at the bar and tables inside; also a large patio area outside with lots of tables & chairs. They have numerous beers on tap and in cans. They also have a small food menu of various deep fried bar snacks and pizza. We ordered a variety of different beers and an ordered of mini corn dogs. The beers were tasty and the corn dogs were delivered hot and in a timely manner. The bartender (who was also the cook) was great! We look forward to returning next year during the Great Taste of the Midwest.

While we were very happy with our enormous half-pretzel and my partner said Prost made the best beer cheese sauce she'd ever tasted, our mains were kinda lackluster. My partner remarked that the Beyond Bratwurst merely tasted like breakfast sausage. The sauerbraten was just some plain pulled pork with a scant drizzle of sauerbraten gravy, nothing like the well-marinated real deal. The potato pancake wasn't really pancake-y, more like some glorified shredded hash browns. The red cabbage was kinda bland. The pickled veg that accompanied the sausage plate looked and tasted fresh and crisp, with a nice hint of warm spice present in the carrots. The space is a pleasing reuse of an old deconsecrated church, with the requisite beer hall-style dining benches. Sports play on the televisions in the main dining hall and above the bar. In summary, I guess you gotta know what Prost!'s strengths are. Their pretzel is epic, but most everything else seemed to fall short. If you're there just for the beer, you can't go wrong.

We had a blast playing with a baby at the bar and my Coke was great. From the bar we entered the dining area- just past the bar- and since there was no one there to sit us we just sat down. We joined a table of friends who were finishing their meal, as there were open chairs at their table which was next to an open table for two. The waitress came over. We said "hi" and asked to place our dinner order, start a separate check so our friends could cash out. We offered to move to the nearby separate table for two, as this sounded upsetting to the staffer as she said she was getting off and couldn't take our order. We said that was fine and she could send over another staffer, we wanted to make things easy. But she just left, and was clearly angry at us. Eventually someone else came to take our order. Took quite a while to get the food and drinks, but they were good, especially the french fries. But then we were told we could not pay for our order, as it had been added to our friends' tab and they had unknowingly already paid for us when they cashed out. It was weird. We are sorry to have upset the waitress, but not sure what we could have done differently, as there was no one there to seat us and we thought we could sit at an open table or join our friends. Neither seemed to work for her that night. I would return for another visit. I like the neighborhood feel and free street parking.

They were not that busy, although the bar seats were mostly filled and a quite a few tables were empty. We started with an appetizer of white cheddar cheese curds which were slightly crispy and warm, and served with a side of ranch dressing. They were a bit on the saltier side, but were delicious. We also ordered a beer to go with it. My husband chose the Oktoberfest beer and I chose the Great Lakes Porter. We both agreed that the beer was on the verge of being warm. For dinner my husband ordered a cowboy burger and I chose the bacon cheese burger. My husband swapped out the Bourbon BBQ sauce with beer cheese sauce. The burgers came out cooked to perfection, at medium rare, topped with crispy onions and served with their homemade chips. My husband's burger also had jalapenos. The crispy onions were awesome, but do get a tiny bit soft when placed on a warm burger. I only wish it was topped with more crispy onions, as they were delicious! The burgers came with a side of their homemade chips. The chips were crisp and not oily. However, I couldn't taste any seasoning on them, so I thought they were mediocre. Our server at the bar was very nice. She was constantly on the run and works hard. Overall, we had a good experience, and will return again.

It seems like there are often events! Their election watch party for Tuesday sounded like a great place to be that night! The brewery was full of folks for the live music and the impending Packers game. Everyone was very friendly with one another and it had a great community vibe. Once at the bar, the bartender was super friendly and welcoming. She explained all of the different beers. I got the "MAGA Tears" IPA and my husband got the "Dark Brandon"/"Hope" stout. Both were very delicious. We ended up getting a 4 pack of the "MAGA Tears" because it was so yummy and because we wanted to have it for election night! The space was cozy, clean, and welcoming. It is differently a great spot to go work, meet new people, or catch-up with friends. We will definitely plan to return next time we are in town...Hopefully with a President Harris!

Visited North Street on a recent trip to Madison and given I find myself in Madison quite often I…read morewill certainly be hitting up North Street again soon. This is an awesome, renovated building in the heart of a residential neighborhood and features a brewery, coffee shop and bakery all in the same building. Cafe Domestique is the coffee shop and each day visiting I went for a cup of coffee, one day a dark roast the the other a lighter roast. Both coffees were incredible roasts and bursting with flavor and the coffee is some of the finest that I have found in the Madison area. Bloom Bake shop was my breakfast of choice two days on the recent trip and I went with a gluten-free scone each day. The lemon poppy scone was really nice but the real winner was the orange chocolate which was exceptional. They had a few other gluten-free options that I will be certain to check out on an upcoming trip back to Madison. Lots of seating and a beautiful patio that would serve as a great spot to get some work done, read or catchup with a friend on a nice day. Really enjoyed North Street and I hope you'll support this spot, as well!
